Employees who left EPL (for any reason besides retirement) between December 19, 2021 and April 2, 2024, are entitled to apply for retro pay as per Article 8.03.02 of the Collective Agreement.

  Deadline to apply: April 26, 2024

The application period is now closed.


For current members at EPL and members who retired between December 19, 2021 and now, you are not required to request retroactive pay. EPL will automatically process the lump sum, new pay rates, and retroactive payments as follows:

Retired Members

  • All retroactivity owed – June 25, 2024

Retirees are not eligible for the lump sum – this is a signing bonus being provided to current employees.

As we do not have email addresses for every member that left EPL, we are asking everyone to share this information with anyone you know who may be entitled to retro pay. Our goal is to reach everyone who is entitled.
